Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Going live in 3, 2, 1, and yes, here we are. Hi, everybody.
- 0:04Speaker 1: After Show Podcast. We're rocking on a Wednesday. Today is
- 0:08Speaker 1: October 7th. The Billy and Lisa show just ended, so
- 0:12Speaker 1: you know what that means. Well, the After Show begins.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I'm going to grab producer Riley in a minute. I
- 0:17Speaker 1: just wanted to check in on a couple of things,
- 0:19Speaker 1: a couple of updates before we get to her. She's
- 0:21Speaker 1: going to see Harry Styles this weekend. That's exciting. But
- 0:25Speaker 1: I want to give an update on my doctor's appointment yesterday,
- 0:28Speaker 1: if you remember. If you listened, I should say I
- 0:31Speaker 1: talked about my vitamin D level. My labs came out,
- 0:34Speaker 1: came back really, really high, like way out of range
- 0:37Speaker 1: because I've been taking a ton of vitamin D. I
- 0:40Speaker 1: thought that's what you should do. I didn't know. Well,
- 0:42Speaker 1: the update is my doctor was not overly concerned. First
- 0:47Speaker 1: and foremost, he said, please tell me you've stopped taking
- 0:49Speaker 1: vitamin D, which I have. I haven't taken it in
- 0:52Speaker 1: almost two weeks. And he said, yeah, you don't need
- 0:55Speaker 1: to take that much. He said, I'm not concerned. All
- 0:58Speaker 1: your other labs look good. Just stop taking it and
- 1:00Speaker 1: then we'll give it a couple of months and we'll
- 1:02Speaker 1: retest the levels and see where you're at. But he
- 1:06Speaker 1: didn't seem that concerned about it. He said, as long
- 1:09Speaker 1: as I stopped and it can flush out of my system,
- 1:12Speaker 1: I don't need 100,000 IUs a day of vitamin D,
- 1:14Speaker 1: which is what I was taking. He said the max
- 1:17Speaker 1: he would give a man, an adult, is 4,000. So
- 1:21Speaker 1: I was taking essentially upwards of 20 times the recommended dose.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I don't know. See, this is what happens when you
- 1:28Speaker 1: listen to podcasts, you listen to people, you think that
- 1:30Speaker 1: what they're saying is accurate. When it's not.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Hey, Justin.
- 1:33Speaker 3: So I'm listening to you about your vitamin D. I
- 1:37Speaker 3: too had vitamin D toxicity. It didn't mean to get it.
- 1:40Speaker 3: I was taking Nutrafol for hair growth, which has vitamin
- 1:44Speaker 3: D in it. And then I was taking a women's
- 1:46Speaker 3: one a day, which also has vitamin D in it.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Like you, I thought you couldn't get enough vitamin D.
- 1:53Speaker 3: And I ended up with kidney stones and was almost hospitalized.
- 1:58Speaker 3: So be careful and lower your.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Dose for sure.
- 2:02Speaker 1: I just came right off. Wow, that's like the same thing.
- 2:05Speaker 1: It was like an accidental surge of vitamin D. I
- 2:09Speaker 1: just thought you couldn't get enough. So good thing is
- 2:13Speaker 1: I did stop. I talked to my doctor. And yeah,
- 2:15Speaker 1: that's what I was reading. Kidney issues, you know, kidney
- 2:19Speaker 1: stones or even one of the things I read said
- 2:21Speaker 1: that level of vitamin D in my body could cause
- 2:26Speaker 1: like kidney failure. I don't know how true that is.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I thought the doctor would be a little bit more concerned.
- 2:31Speaker 1: But he wasn't. He was very happy with the rest
- 2:33Speaker 1: of my labs. So that's good. And yeah, we're going
- 2:35Speaker 1: to wait a little while and do like the kidney test.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I don't know what it's called. Dr. Mumbo Jumbo. But
- 2:41Speaker 1: he's on it.
- 2:42Speaker 5: Hey, Justin, it's Mo. Good luck at your labs today.
- 2:45Speaker 5: Make sure you let us know how everything goes. The
- 2:48Speaker 5: friend and nurse in me, when I heard that number,
- 2:50Speaker 5: I was like, oh, shit. So I'm glad you're getting
- 2:52Speaker 5: it checked out. Also, too, remember to get your flu
- 2:55Speaker 5: shot and everybody in your family get the flu shot.
- 2:57Speaker 5: Don't listen to any TikTok or any fake shit on
- 2:59Speaker 5: the Internet saying that it's bad or it's not safe.
- 3:02Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
- 3:03Speaker 5: It's absolutely safe, proven.
- 3:06Speaker 2: So make sure you get it. It's important.
- 3:08Speaker 6: Love you.
- 3:09Speaker 1: I love you too, Mo. Yeah, I get a flu
- 3:11Speaker 1: shot every year. I always have. Mine's coming up right
- 3:14Speaker 1: at the beginning of November. I'm going in to see
- 3:17Speaker 1: it to my doctor. So yeah, I get the flu shot.
- 3:19Speaker 1: I don't, I'm not really one of those weird conspiracy people.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I know a lot of people think that the flu
- 3:23Speaker 1: gives you the flu, like you get sick after. And
- 3:25Speaker 1: that does happen, I think, but it's not because of
- 3:27Speaker 1: what they put in per se. Maybe you just were
- 3:30Speaker 1: exposed to it. I don't know. Billy is one of
- 3:32Speaker 1: those crazy people. He thinks that it's because of the shot.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Like one year he got sick. He got the flu
- 3:37Speaker 1: after getting the shot. I don't know. Maybe it's a coincidence.
- 3:41Speaker 1: I've gotten the flu shot every single year and I
- 3:44Speaker 1: never get sick when I get it. So I don't know.
- 3:47Speaker 1: People have crazy opinions on that. The vaccines conversation is
- 3:50Speaker 1: just nuts. I don't know. My kids are vaccinated. I'm
- 3:54Speaker 1: not like really one of these crazy people. The COVID
- 3:56Speaker 1: vaccine I don't get because– Well, a couple of years ago,
- 3:59Speaker 1: I went to see my doctor and he goes, OK,
- 4:01Speaker 1: we have the COVID vaccine and we have the flu shot.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Which one do you want? And I go, well, what
- 4:06Speaker 1: do you recommend? He goes, honestly, the flu shot. He's like,
- 4:09Speaker 1: I wouldn't get the COVID shot. So I'm like, all right.
- 4:13Speaker 1: I mean I think that it's important for people like
- 4:15Speaker 1: elderly or people that have high risk. I think so.
- 4:19Speaker 1: But my doctor was basically like, you're healthy. I don't
- 4:22Speaker 1: really see the point. So I got the first COVID
- 4:24Speaker 1: shot when it first came out. But then that was it.
- 4:27Speaker 1: And I got it because– This is like at the
- 4:30Speaker 1: height of COVID. My grandmother at the time was 97
- 4:33Speaker 1: years old and I wanted to be able to go
- 4:35Speaker 1: see her and not spread it. And this is what
- 4:37Speaker 1: I didn't like about it is when it first came out,
- 4:40Speaker 1: they literally said, if you get this vaccine, you will
- 4:43Speaker 1: not spread it to others. So I went and got it.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And then shortly after, they're like, well, yeah, it doesn't
- 4:51Speaker 1: prevent transmission. You can give it to other people. And
- 4:53Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell? And I pride myself on
- 4:55Speaker 1: my health. My main concern was not myself, right? I
- 4:59Speaker 1: feel like I have a strong immune system. And I mean,
- 5:01Speaker 1: I did get COVID many times. It was nothing. I
- 5:03Speaker 1: was one of the lucky ones. It was just like
- 5:05Speaker 1: a cold that went away after a day or two.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I never got really, really sick, but I was concerned
- 5:10Speaker 1: with spreading it to my family, you know, to my grandmother.
- 5:14Speaker 1: That was a really, really big issue. So I got
- 5:16Speaker 1: the first one. And then when they said that, I'm like,
- 5:17Speaker 1: why am I going to keep getting these shots if
- 5:19Speaker 1: I can still pass it on? So that was just
- 5:21Speaker 1: my thoughts on it. But people get crazy about the
- 5:23Speaker 1: vaccine stuff. I don't even go down that road. I
- 5:26Speaker 1: feel like The vaccines that you give children, the ones
- 5:30Speaker 1: that I got, these have been given out and studied
- 5:33Speaker 1: for many, many years. I know there's like an autism thing.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I know there's that. I'm not really up on that.
- 5:40Speaker 1: I don't really like going down that road. People love
- 5:43Speaker 1: to really engage in the conspiracy conversation. Listen, there's a
- 5:46Speaker 1: million conspiracies in the world. What's true and what's not,
- 5:50Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll entertain them. I'll entertain them. But
- 5:54Speaker 1: when you start talking about the World Trade Center did
- 5:57Speaker 1: not The 9-11 wasn't real or that Sandy Hook isn't real.
- 6:03Speaker 1: That's a little bit too much for me. Or like
- 6:05Speaker 1: the earth is flat. These are people that really exist.
- 6:08Speaker 1: There was a guy at my gym who was a
- 6:11Speaker 1: flat earther. He believed a couple of things, that the
- 6:14Speaker 1: earth was flat, convinced, and also that space didn't exist,
- 6:21Speaker 1: that there was no such thing as space, that what
- 6:23Speaker 1: NASA puts out is all fake. It's all propaganda. It's
- 6:27Speaker 1: all just– basically created digitally. And so one day at
- 6:32Speaker 1: the gym, my friend that I was working out with said,
- 6:36Speaker 1: I dare you. I know he goes, I'll give you,
- 6:38Speaker 1: I think he said, give me 20 bucks if I
- 6:40Speaker 1: go up to that kid and bring up the earth
- 6:42Speaker 1: being flat. And you know, at the time wasn't making
- 6:44Speaker 1: a lot of money. I said, sure. So I did it.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I went up and let me tell you, it was an,
- 6:49Speaker 1: I didn't get much working out done that day. It
- 6:51Speaker 1: was an hour long on trying to convince me that
- 6:55Speaker 1: the earth is flat. And that space doesn't exist. And
- 6:57Speaker 1: he said a bunch of other stuff too. I mean
- 6:59Speaker 1: he's one of these like– everything is fake. Everything. And
- 7:03Speaker 1: it's fun to entertain them. You listen to it and
- 7:05Speaker 1: you're like, OK. But after a while, I'm like, oh, man. Dude,
- 7:08Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get a workout, man. I'm just
- 7:11Speaker 1: trying to like– just trying to put some food on
- 7:13Speaker 1: the table for my kids. Just trying to be a
- 7:15Speaker 1: good dad. I can't be worried about whether space is real.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. I mean I would
- 7:20Speaker 1: say that it is. Although the moon landing, did that happen?
- 7:23Speaker 1: I don't know. That's another conspiracy theory. Um, but yeah,
- 7:27Speaker 1: I get my kids vaccinated and I will get the
- 7:29Speaker 1: flu shot. That's just what I think. Don't leave talk
- 7:32Speaker 1: backs and yell at me, please. Because I don't want
- 7:34Speaker 1: to engage in it. You believe what you believe. I
- 7:37Speaker 1: believe what I believe. Get the vaccine. I get the,
- 7:40Speaker 1: I mean, I've gotten the vaccines by the way, you know, the, um,
- 7:44Speaker 1: the scars that are on. If you're older, you might
- 7:48Speaker 1: have it on your arm. My mom has it. My
- 7:50Speaker 1: dad has it. I never knew what it was. It's
- 7:52Speaker 1: that little scar on the side of the arm. And
- 7:55Speaker 1: apparently that was a vaccine. I think it was a
- 7:58Speaker 1: vaccine that they gave back in the, whatever, 50s, 60s,
- 8:03Speaker 1: 70s that left that scar. I forget the name of it,
- 8:06Speaker 1: but I learned when I got older. So when I
- 8:07Speaker 1: was a kid, I always noticed the scar, but I
- 8:09Speaker 1: didn't really ask what it was. And then I learned
- 8:12Speaker 1: later on in life that it was, I believe it
- 8:13Speaker 1: was a vaccine that all the kids got that left
- 8:16Speaker 1: the scar.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Hmm.
- 8:17Speaker 1: All right, what else we got?
- 8:18Speaker 2: Hey, Justin. I'm listening to the podcast from Friday. I
- 8:22Speaker 2: was at a couple of charity events last week, so
- 8:24Speaker 2: I have no idea what was going on with Matt.
- 8:26Speaker 2: And I'm not asking any questions. I'm just laughing because
- 8:29Speaker 2: you're so sick of it. And truly, some of us really,
- 8:32Speaker 2: you know, if you don't listen constantly, everything all day,
- 8:35Speaker 2: you might not know what's going on. So I'm sure
- 8:37Speaker 2: you'll get more questions. But you guys are doing great.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I've been listening to this since like in the 80s.
- 8:44Speaker 2: And you guys, your show is so positive and I
- 8:45Speaker 2: love it.
- 8:46Speaker 1: No, I know what you mean. I know what you mean.
- 8:48Speaker 1: People are in and out, right, of the show, of
- 8:50Speaker 1: the after show. They'll go weeks or months without listening
- 8:53Speaker 1: to either. And then they come back and they kind
- 8:55Speaker 1: of jump right in the middle of things. So I
- 8:57Speaker 1: get it. You can always– it's fine. I don't– I'm
- 9:00Speaker 1: not like sick of the questions. I just didn't want
- 9:03Speaker 1: it to continue and be the whole podcast. But if
- 9:06Speaker 1: you have a question, just please. I played that one.
- 9:09Speaker 1: You know, there's absolutely right. And by the way, go
- 9:11Speaker 1: listen to the podcast last week. If you have any questions,
- 9:13Speaker 1: I think I answer a lot of the questions as
- 9:15Speaker 1: best I could. Okay.
- 9:16Speaker 6: Now I just listened to today's after show. I have
- 9:19Speaker 6: to make one more comment and that's it. I won't
- 9:21Speaker 6: say anything else about Matt, but I want to say.
- 9:25Speaker 6: He stopped working on Mondays, and you guys used to
- 9:28Speaker 6: have sort of like a free-for-all, and that's the only
- 9:30Speaker 6: time I would listen to it. He got so bitter,
- 9:33Speaker 6: I only listened on Mondays. I couldn't listen Tuesday through Friday.
- 9:37Speaker 6: And I really missed it during the week, but I
- 9:40Speaker 6: just would listen to other stuff. The negativity was overwhelming
- 9:44Speaker 6: to me.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Yeah, that's something that he even acknowledges, Matt, is the
- 9:50Speaker 1: end was very tough for him. He was burnt out.
- 9:52Speaker 1: He was miserable. That definitely showed on the air. And,
- 9:56Speaker 1: he's talked about many times that he should have walked away,
- 10:01Speaker 1: maybe after the 40th, right? After the 40th, because that
- 10:03Speaker 1: was such a, I forget if he said this on
- 10:05Speaker 1: the air, if he said it to me one-on-one, but
- 10:07Speaker 1: he said that he had a hard time recovering after
- 10:10Speaker 1: the 40th anniversary because it was such a big deal
- 10:13Speaker 1: and it was such it was such a show, right?
- 10:18Speaker 1: There's this big honor. I don't know if you remember,
- 10:20Speaker 1: but we had everybody on it. I mean, we had
- 10:22Speaker 1: the governor, we had Donnie Wahlberg, big celebrities calling in.
- 10:27Speaker 1: It was just, it was incredible, right? Bex and I
- 10:29Speaker 1: helped put that together. And it was a really proud
- 10:32Speaker 1: moment for us. And he was riding a high from that.
- 10:35Speaker 1: And then when it was over, it was like, what's next, right?
- 10:39Speaker 1: I think he said that to me one-on-one. He was like,
- 10:40Speaker 1: I didn't know how to recover from it. And so
- 10:42Speaker 1: the anger, the, And the, I don't know, bitterness and
- 10:46Speaker 1: just being burnt out really came out. And that played
- 10:48Speaker 1: a big part in the end. Definitely did. Definitely did.
- 10:52Speaker 1: But still, you know, you're right. You're right. Those Monday shows,
- 10:55Speaker 1: that was the preparation for the next show. That's why
- 10:58Speaker 1: this whole storyline that's being created that, you know, Billy
- 11:02Speaker 1: and Lisa stole the show from him. It's just not true.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's just the way that
- 11:07Speaker 1: he remembers it, but it's just not the way it was.
- 11:11Speaker 1: You know, we had meetings that he was in on
- 11:13Speaker 1: and I was in on those meetings. This morning show,
- 11:17Speaker 1: this silly morning show that we love doing every single
- 11:20Speaker 1: day is a pretty big deal in the company that
- 11:24Speaker 1: we're in, right? Because first of all, it's a heritage station,
- 11:29Speaker 1: Kiss 108. It's a legendary station and this is a
- 11:32Speaker 1: legendary morning show, you know, thanks to Matt that goes
- 11:35Speaker 1: way back, right? High in the ratings, makes a lot
- 11:38Speaker 1: of money. So it's a big focus of our company.
- 11:41Speaker 1: We own 850 radio stations. Imagine how many morning shows
- 11:45Speaker 1: that are in, you know, that they're in the company.
- 11:48Speaker 1: It's a lot. And so this morning show is like
- 11:51Speaker 1: in the top five of highest grossing. And it's a
- 11:54Speaker 1: big deal. You're talking a lot of money. So they
- 11:58Speaker 1: really do care about what's happening on this morning show.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Definitely they do. So that was the plan all along was,
- 12:07Speaker 1: you know, he was coming towards the end. He was
- 12:09Speaker 1: taking off Mondays so that the new show could form.
- 12:14Speaker 1: And it did. We did the show on Mondays as
- 12:17Speaker 1: Billy as the host for a whole year. And then
- 12:21Speaker 1: the plan was at the end of 2022, he was
- 12:25Speaker 1: either going to be done fully or he was going
- 12:27Speaker 1: to kind of be like a part-time, come on once
- 12:29Speaker 1: or twice a week, still be a part of the show.
- 12:31Speaker 1: That was the plan. And then it all blew up.
- 12:34Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden a new storyline is
- 12:36Speaker 1: created of like he was pushed out and You know,
- 12:39Speaker 1: that's just not what happened, man. That's just not the truth.
- 12:41Speaker 1: It wasn't like, you know, he made one bad comment
- 12:44Speaker 1: and then, you know, HR got involved. This was an
- 12:46Speaker 1: ongoing thing. And yeah, it just didn't happen like that.
- 12:50Speaker 1: So I just wanted to correct that, you know, that's all.
- 12:53Speaker 1: So if you're listening now and don't know what I'm
- 12:55Speaker 1: talking about, you can go back to last week's episodes,
- 12:57Speaker 1: those podcasts where I kind of explain the best I can.
- 13:01Speaker 1: All right, let me text Riley here and get her
- 13:03Speaker 1: in here. I know she's doing the podcast. She's very busy.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I do know that. I know that's not for– she
- 13:10Speaker 1: doesn't want to not come in because she's being lazy.
- 13:14Speaker 1: She's busy, as am I. And it was a great
- 13:16Speaker 1: show today, by the way. I thought we had a
- 13:18Speaker 1: lot of fun. The Dancing with the Stars thing I
- 13:19Speaker 1: was unsure about. But Billie watched it last night, so
- 13:22Speaker 1: that was good. So we covered that. And obviously Riley
- 13:26Speaker 1: watches it as well. She did– oh, there she is.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Look at that. I stopped talking about you. You walk in.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Hello.
- 13:31Speaker 1: There you go. You don't need headphones.
- 13:32Speaker 2: That's good.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I didn't bring mine.
- 13:33Speaker 5: It's fine.
- 13:34Speaker 1: You know when I started the podcast, I used to
- 13:35Speaker 1: play music?
- 13:36Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. Yep.
- 13:38Speaker 1: On the podcast.
- 13:39Speaker 4: Oh, I wish that we could do that now.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Then it, that ended, but that was a fun time
- 13:43Speaker 1: because I would do new music Friday.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Yeah. I would do like, you know how I play
- 13:46Speaker 1: like funny clips of songs during the show. I would
- 13:48Speaker 1: do that on the after show.
- 13:50Speaker 4: Oh.
- 13:50Speaker 1: And then they came through and we're like, well, you
- 13:52Speaker 1: actually can't do that because of lawsuits.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Now that podcasts are like big.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Although I will say I like, I'll watch clips of
- 14:00Speaker 1: podcasts on social media that are their video, but their
- 14:04Speaker 1: audio too.
- 14:04Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 14:05Speaker 1: And they play music. How do they get away with that?
- 14:08Speaker 4: I know. Social media is different. I have no idea.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Because I don't think they're supposed to, but I have
- 14:13Speaker 4: no idea. Obviously, the podcast thing is because it lives
- 14:16Speaker 4: there forever, so they should be getting royalties off of
- 14:18Speaker 4: it or whatever. But social media, I don't know the difference.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I don't either.
- 14:22Speaker 4: It makes no sense.
- 14:23Speaker 1: I know. I wish someone could explain.
- 14:24Speaker 5: It to us.
- 14:24Speaker 4: Because I'm thinking of, I know exactly who you're talking about.
- 14:26Speaker 4: You're talking about that producer that always breaks down little, yeah.
- 14:31Speaker 1: He plays music.
- 14:32Speaker 4: And he's using more.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Than 10 seconds.
- 14:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Yeah, the rule is basically 10 seconds or less you
- 14:36Speaker 1: can get away with, although it is frowned upon. But legally,
- 14:41Speaker 1: you can use under 10 seconds.
- 14:43Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really confusing.
- 14:44Speaker 1: I have no idea. Laws are weird on things.
- 14:46Speaker 4: I know. So if in the podcast the editing is
- 14:48Speaker 4: ever funky, that's why.
- 14:50Speaker 1: That's why, yeah. Yeah, I know.
- 14:51Speaker 3: I know.
- 14:51Speaker 4: Because I'm trying to leave some of it in, but like,
- 14:54Speaker 4: you know.
- 14:54Speaker 1: It sucks. It sucks for people that can't listen live.
- 14:56Speaker 1: They miss so much.
- 14:57Speaker 3: I know.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Especially on days where we play a game or if
- 15:00Speaker 1: we do a New Music Friday.
- 15:01Speaker 4: Yeah, because then.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you do on New Music Friday?
- 15:03Speaker 4: Uh, if it's like, if I think I can edit
- 15:05Speaker 4: it enough, I will just edit it so that it's
- 15:08Speaker 4: 10 seconds. But if it's like, like if there's a
- 15:11Speaker 4: game where like you have to hear the music for
- 15:14Speaker 4: it to make sense, I just take it out, unfortunately.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Oh God, that sucks.
- 15:17Speaker 4: I know. But sometimes I will try to go ham
- 15:19Speaker 4: on the editing.
- 15:20Speaker 1: The laws are weird. So I was reading about, this
- 15:22Speaker 1: is super random, but you know, I was reading about this.
- 15:24Speaker 1: There's a new GLP-1 drug coming out. Okay. This is
- 15:27Speaker 1: supposed to be like the breakthrough one. It's way better
- 15:29Speaker 1: than Ozempic, right? It's called Reditrutide. Okay.
- 15:33Speaker 4: Okay.
- 15:33Speaker 1: And so Eli Lilly, which is the pharmaceutical company that
- 15:36Speaker 1: developed it, it went through all the trials. It is safe.
- 15:39Speaker 1: They say whatever. It's ready to go out to the market, right? Yeah,
- 15:43Speaker 1: it's ready to go out to the market, OK? So
- 15:46Speaker 1: they're in court right now because they're trying to get
- 15:49Speaker 1: a judge to rule. Now, it's even going to follow this, right?
- 15:52Speaker 1: They want to basically prove that this drug is biological, OK?
- 16:00Speaker 1: In order to be biological– It needs to have something
- 16:03Speaker 1: like 39 amino acids or something. I know it sounds weird, right?
- 16:08Speaker 1: But it really only has 38. And the 39th could
- 16:12Speaker 1: be argued that it's an amino acid, but it could
- 16:15Speaker 1: also be argued it's not. So it's a big deal
- 16:18Speaker 1: because if they win the drug company, then they get
- 16:22Speaker 1: the patent for 12 years and that no other pharmacy
- 16:25Speaker 1: can make this drug but them. And you know what
- 16:27Speaker 1: that means? Billions and billions of dollars. If they rule
- 16:31Speaker 1: against them, that means they can have the patent for
- 16:35Speaker 1: five years, but then anybody else can make the drug too.
- 16:38Speaker 1: So that's all that money they'll lose. Right. So it's
- 16:41Speaker 1: whether they can own it 100% or only partly. And
- 16:44Speaker 1: we're talking billions of dollars. But I'm like, they're fighting
- 16:47Speaker 1: in court over an amino acid?
- 16:49Speaker 4: So like their recipe basically gets like leaked. So other
- 16:52Speaker 4: people can take it.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Well, people know what it is. It's whether or not–
- 16:56Speaker 1: because it's already being made. Like you can buy it
- 16:57Speaker 1: on like the black market. But if the question is
- 17:00Speaker 1: if they own it 100 percent, if they win this
- 17:02Speaker 1: court case and someone else makes it, off with their head.
- 17:07Speaker 1: They will fucking crush them.
- 17:08Speaker 4: But isn't like every GLP-1 kind of the same?
- 17:12Speaker 1: Well, this one is different. It's the same but it's different.
- 17:15Speaker 1: So basically they took the GLP-1, which is Ozempic, and
- 17:18Speaker 1: then they just improved it.
- 17:19Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:20Speaker 1: And to deter his appetite. And now they've improved it
- 17:22Speaker 1: even more. Because the problem with Ozempic was it was
- 17:25Speaker 1: muscle wasting. So when you took it, you lose weight.
- 17:28Speaker 1: You weren't hungry, but it would just waste away your muscle.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:31Speaker 1: And that's why everybody looked weird. Ozempic face. Yeah. This
- 17:34Speaker 1: one saves your muscle. Okay. So, and you don't like,
- 17:37Speaker 1: you're not as, it doesn't kill your appetite as much.
- 17:40Speaker 1: That's what I've read about it. So anyway, that's coming
- 17:43Speaker 1: out in 2027, but they're in court now. I was
- 17:44Speaker 1: reading it yesterday and I was thinking, this is why
- 17:46Speaker 1: I brought it up. I was thinking like, wow, this
- 17:48Speaker 1: is crazy, the laws they have to fight over.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:50Speaker 1: And it's probably the same with the music. Probably. Ten
- 17:53Speaker 1: seconds or less. Anyway, speaking of music, you're going to
- 17:56Speaker 1: see Harry Styles this weekend.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Yes.
- 17:57Speaker 4: Are you excited? I am excited. I will say that
- 18:00Speaker 4: I spent some time with this album when it first
- 18:02Speaker 4: came out, and then I put it away and haven't
- 18:04Speaker 4: listened to it in a long time. And so literally
- 18:08Speaker 4: like yesterday, I was like, ah, crap. I got to
- 18:10Speaker 4: like go back and re-listen. And there are some songs
- 18:13Speaker 4: that I need to look at the lyrics for.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Oh, really? I don't really love like– Like Dirty? No, no, no.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Like I just don't know them at all.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Oh, you want to be singing along. Yeah.
- 18:22Speaker 4: I'm okay to go to a concert if I don't
- 18:23Speaker 4: like know everything, like every lyric and I can still
- 18:26Speaker 4: have fun. But like I prefer to know the songs
- 18:28Speaker 4: because I want to sing and I want to dance
- 18:30Speaker 4: and I want to have fun.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:31Speaker 4: So I have like– I don't usually do this either,
- 18:34Speaker 4: but I did put together a playlist of just the
- 18:36Speaker 4: set list. So I'm just listening to the entire set
- 18:38Speaker 4: list in order.
- 18:39Speaker 1: In preparation of the show.
- 18:40Speaker 4: In preparation, which I don't normally do. But again, I
- 18:43Speaker 4: didn't feel prepared for this show. And also I– I
- 18:46Speaker 4: didn't really listen to Harry's House. I like Harry Styles.
- 18:50Speaker 4: I'm not like the biggest Harry Styles fan in the world.
- 18:52Speaker 4: I'm just like happy to go because it's like a
- 18:54Speaker 4: moment in time. So a lot of his songs from
- 18:57Speaker 4: Harry's House I don't know and he plays a decent amount.
- 18:59Speaker 4: So I'm like trying to learn those ones too.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Is it the same set list every night?
- 19:03Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:04Speaker 5: Oh, it is?
- 19:04Speaker 1: He doesn't change it at all each weekend?
- 19:06Speaker 4: I don't believe so. Oh, wow.
- 19:08Speaker 1: No surprise you know noah khan like surprises.
- 19:09Speaker 4: Yeah i don't think that i don't think so.
- 19:12Speaker 1: So everyone that everyone that goes if they've looked at
- 19:14Speaker 1: the set list knows like what he's gonna end with
- 19:16Speaker 1: and start with.
- 19:16Speaker 4: It sounds that's what i was that's what.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's not a bad thing.
- 19:21Speaker 4: No i do think it's like a fun thing to
- 19:24Speaker 4: have a surprise song a lot of artists have like
- 19:26Speaker 4: taken that over i know that like obviously the heiress
- 19:28Speaker 4: tour kind of like i mean people have been doing
- 19:31Speaker 4: that forever but the heiress tour like made it into
- 19:33Speaker 4: like a really people are oh my god what's it
- 19:35Speaker 4: gonna be what's it gonna be it was like a
- 19:36Speaker 4: whole thing yeah um So I do like that because
- 19:39Speaker 4: then it's like if you go to multiple shows, you're
- 19:41Speaker 4: still getting a different show.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Yeah. That's my thought.
- 19:44Speaker 4: If you don't do it, no skin off your back.
- 19:47Speaker 1: It's still going to be a great show.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:48Speaker 1: It looks great. I mean I'm not like– I like
- 19:50Speaker 1: Harry Styles. I don't really like listen to him except
- 19:52Speaker 1: for the songs that we play. One, the shows look great. Yeah.
- 19:56Speaker 4: Right?
- 19:56Speaker 1: A lot of fun.
- 19:57Speaker 4: He looks incredible.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to say that.
- 19:59Speaker 4: Oh, I meant just like as a performer.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to comment
- 20:03Speaker 1: on his short shorts.
- 20:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Big runner, right? I like how he engages with the audience.
- 20:08Speaker 1: He connects with fans, which I love.
- 20:10Speaker 4: He's always done that. He's so fun.
- 20:12Speaker 1: But I love the walking to work.
- 20:15Speaker 4: I know. That's crazy.
- 20:16Speaker 1: I feel like that's not talked about enough.
- 20:18Speaker 2: I know.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Think about celebrities. They get carted around, security everywhere. You
- 20:23Speaker 1: can't get near them. Yeah. This guy is just walking
- 20:25Speaker 1: around New York City. I know.
- 20:27Speaker 4: I do. I will say it's because he has made
- 20:29Speaker 4: a name for himself as like a celebrity that doesn't
- 20:31Speaker 4: want to be approached for the most part. Like he
- 20:34Speaker 4: he really will turn down fans like not in a
- 20:36Speaker 4: rude way, but like he'll say hi. But like if
- 20:39Speaker 4: you start like coming really coming up to him, he's
- 20:41Speaker 4: not going to take it. And if you ask for
- 20:43Speaker 4: a picture and he doesn't want to, he goes, no. Yeah.
- 20:46Speaker 4: I mean, good for him. Set boundaries. But it's like.
- 20:50Speaker 4: He's done it for so long and done it enough
- 20:53Speaker 4: to enough people that people are like, okay, you don't
- 20:54Speaker 4: really approach Harry Styles. Yeah.
- 20:56Speaker 1: I watch all the videos of him being filmed and
- 20:57Speaker 1: they just, he knows they're filming, but he'll have his
- 20:59Speaker 1: hood up and his headphones on and he just like
- 21:01Speaker 1: walks right by. And I feel like as long as
- 21:03Speaker 1: you don't approach him, it's fine.
- 21:05Speaker 4: And it's good that like, I mean, he, I don't
- 21:08Speaker 4: know how he, he managed to split off from like
- 21:10Speaker 4: the one direction of it all. Cause like when they
- 21:12Speaker 4: were in one direction, they were being like followed everywhere.
- 21:16Speaker 4: People showed up to Niall Horan's brother's wedding. Like they
- 21:19Speaker 4: were like– it was like crazy to be in One Direction.
- 21:22Speaker 4: And like Taylor Swift deals with it where like people
- 21:24Speaker 4: show up to places that she's going to like allegedly be.
- 21:27Speaker 4: I don't know how his fans are so polite about it.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Well, it's probably because like you said, that he's kind.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Of built that over time. Yeah, like it's impressive.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Not like bashing the fans.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Well, that's like– I always think about Eminem. Okay, Eminem,
- 21:39Speaker 1: he's fought with that his entire career, is getting so
- 21:42Speaker 1: famous and losing– That normalcy of life and being able
- 21:46Speaker 1: to go somewhere. He can't go to the supermarket. So
- 21:49Speaker 1: it's just cool that Harry has held on to that.
- 21:51Speaker 1: I think it was– well, Michael Jackson is a big
- 21:55Speaker 1: example of that. So when Michael Jackson was alive, he
- 21:59Speaker 1: was so famous obviously. And because he became famous as
- 22:02Speaker 1: a kid, he never had a normal life. Do you
- 22:05Speaker 1: see the movie?
- 22:06Speaker 3: No.
- 22:06Speaker 4: OK.
- 22:06Speaker 1: In the movie, they really focus on his relationship with
- 22:09Speaker 1: animals because those were his friends.
- 22:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:11Speaker 1: You know, he had all these animals everywhere. He had
- 22:13Speaker 1: the monkey that he lived with because he had no
- 22:15Speaker 1: actual friends. So when he was an adult, there's this
- 22:17Speaker 1: famous video clip. You look it up on YouTube where
- 22:20Speaker 1: he had his team rent out a supermarket or a store.
- 22:24Speaker 1: And so he went there and pretended just to be
- 22:26Speaker 1: a customer. And he went shopping with a shopping. Yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 1: He just walked around. He's like, oh, I'll take this.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Puts it in his carriage. And then they had a
- 22:31Speaker 1: cashier there. And he went and he paid and walked out.
- 22:34Speaker 1: But it was all set up.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:36Speaker 1: That makes me feel bad for him. So when I
- 22:37Speaker 1: see Harry Styles do that, I'm like, dude, look at that.
- 22:39Speaker 1: He's living the best of both worlds in a sense.
- 22:42Speaker 4: Truly. I feel like once you become a celebrity, you
- 22:45Speaker 4: lose your autonomy almost. You're not even a person anymore
- 22:49Speaker 4: to a lot of people. You're just this great figure,
- 22:52Speaker 4: which must be horrible. Yeah. Having, being a celebrity obviously
- 22:57Speaker 4: is like amazing. And like, like Anne Hathaway the other day,
- 23:00Speaker 4: they were like praising her for working while pregnant. She
- 23:02Speaker 4: was like, okay, yeah. Like don't praise the pampered celebrity.
- 23:05Speaker 4: Like a million women do this every day where they
- 23:08Speaker 4: don't like, she was like, today I got a manicure.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Like people go to work every single day pregnant. So like,
- 23:13Speaker 4: that is like a great way to look at it.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Like obviously celebrities like don't have a hard life quote unquote,
- 23:18Speaker 4: but it must be hard to be, not feel like
- 23:21Speaker 4: a person half the time.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Yeah. I like that. I like that thought process. And
- 23:24Speaker 1: my wife went to, work nine months pregnant. She was
- 23:26Speaker 1: waiting tables for my son. She worked at Friendly's.
- 23:29Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy.
- 23:29Speaker 1: And she was waiting tables at nine months pregnant.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Good for her.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Tom Cruise is an example too. I was watching a
- 23:35Speaker 1: podcast this week actually, Bert Kreischer, he's a comedian. He
- 23:39Speaker 1: was talking about, he didn't say the source, but he
- 23:41Speaker 1: said he learned about Tom Cruise's life and what it's
- 23:44Speaker 1: like and he is so pampered that Tom doesn't do
- 23:48Speaker 1: anything for himself to the point of if he's going
- 23:51Speaker 1: to go watch a game on TV, right? They will
- 23:55Speaker 1: wait till it's aired or like partly aired. And so
- 23:58Speaker 1: when he goes into the room, before he walks in,
- 24:00Speaker 1: all the commercials are edited out. He never has to
- 24:02Speaker 1: watch commercials. That's crazy. And his whole life step by
- 24:05Speaker 1: step is planned out. When he goes anywhere into a room,
- 24:08Speaker 1: everything is there waiting for him. He never has to
- 24:10Speaker 1: wait for anything. Imagine a life like that.
- 24:13Speaker 4: No, that sounds horrible.
- 24:14Speaker 5: Crazy.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Like half the time, that must be really nice. You're like,
- 24:17Speaker 4: I don't have to wait for anything. I have somebody
- 24:19Speaker 4: like with like hand over foot doing whatever I want.
- 24:23Speaker 4: But then on the other side, it's like you can't
- 24:24Speaker 4: do anything for yourself. Does somebody wipe your butt, Tom?
- 24:28Speaker 4: Like what's happening?
- 24:29Speaker 1: Maybe, actually.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Like at what point is it too much? Like now
- 24:32Speaker 4: this is just ridiculous.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Well, he probably has a fancy bidet that does that
- 24:36Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, I'm sure.
- 24:39Speaker 4: All I think about when I think about Tom Cruise
- 24:41Speaker 4: is those pictures of Nicole Kidman post-divorce where she's like, yeah,
- 24:45Speaker 4: in the streets.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Well, think about his daughter. I know. Doesn't even talk
- 24:48Speaker 1: to her.
- 24:49Speaker 4: They all hate him. It's like the pits.
- 24:51Speaker 1: The Scientology thing is crazy to me. We were talking
- 24:53Speaker 1: about that with Billy and Lisa this morning off the air.
- 24:56Speaker 1: It's just a crazy thing.
- 24:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 24:58Speaker 1: It really is. And then when you meet a Scientologist,
- 25:01Speaker 1: they're all the same.
- 25:02Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:03Speaker 4: The eye contact. They act like you're like the center
- 25:06Speaker 4: of their universe for those five seconds.
- 25:08Speaker 1: They're so nice.
- 25:09Speaker 4: It's impressive.
- 25:10Speaker 1: It really is. It really is impressive. All right. So, Harry,
- 25:13Speaker 1: so when do you leave?
- 25:14Speaker 4: Saturday morning.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Driving?
- 25:16Speaker 4: So we had booked an Amtrak, and then a couple
- 25:19Speaker 4: weeks ago, every single train got canceled for that weekend.
- 25:23Speaker 4: So we booked a flight, which was unfortunate.
- 25:25Speaker 1: You're flying?
- 25:27Speaker 4: Trust me.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Wow, look at you.
- 25:29Speaker 4: I did not want to do that.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Out of Logan?
- 25:31Speaker 4: Logan. It's like an hour flight. Oh, yeah.
- 25:34Speaker 1: It's quick.
- 25:34Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.
- 25:35Speaker 1: So you're flying into Guadalajara or JFK?
- 25:37Speaker 4: JFK.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Okay. So where are you staying?
- 25:41Speaker 4: Everybody keeps asking me this. I don't know.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Oh, you didn't pick a hotel yet? No, no. We did.
- 25:45Speaker 4: Kelly booked it and I just didn't follow up because
- 25:47Speaker 4: she's literally gone to this show four times already. And
- 25:50Speaker 4: she stayed in the hotel already. So she was like,
- 25:52Speaker 4: it's like a couple of blocks away. I was like,
- 25:54Speaker 4: all right, I trust you.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Okay. So, all right. So you land Saturday, you check
- 25:59Speaker 1: into your hotel, you get ready. You're doing dinner before
- 26:02Speaker 1: Harry or probably.
- 26:03Speaker 4: So we're actually flying in pretty early. I think we're
- 26:06Speaker 4: going to get there around like noon. So we have
- 26:08Speaker 4: like half of a day to spend. So we'll probably
- 26:10Speaker 4: get brunch. We both want to go to the NHL
- 26:13Speaker 4: store cause they do like, um, I was going to
- 26:16Speaker 4: call it engravings, but it's not engravings. Um, What's that called?
- 26:21Speaker 4: When you can have them write something. Embroidery.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Okay.
- 26:24Speaker 4: They can, like, embroider a hat with, like, your name
- 26:26Speaker 4: or whatever on it. So we're going to do that.
- 26:29Speaker 4: And then we'll probably just do, like, dinner before the show. Okay.
- 26:32Speaker 4: And then we fly out around noon the next day.
- 26:35Speaker 1: So on Sunday. Yeah.
- 26:36Speaker 4: Okay.
- 26:36Speaker 1: So will you go out after the show, you think?
- 26:39Speaker 4: I have no idea.
- 26:39Speaker 1: New York?
- 26:40Speaker 4: I think it's going to be one of those where
- 26:41Speaker 4: the night takes us kind of vibes.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Remember the first time I went to Times Square and
- 26:45Speaker 1: it was, like, 2 in the morning? You would have
- 26:47Speaker 1: thought it was noon.
- 26:49Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's so lit up.
- 26:50Speaker 1: The city never sleeps.
- 26:51Speaker 4: It's true.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:52Speaker 4: I've always loved New York. I don't go there ever.
- 26:55Speaker 4: But I love the idea of it.
- 26:58Speaker 1: You know, the last time I went, we went to
- 27:01Speaker 1: New Jersey. We went to New York for the day
- 27:03Speaker 1: with our children. And we went to Central Park. That
- 27:06Speaker 1: was cool. They have the Central Park Zoo.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yep.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Have you been to the zoo in Central Park? No.
- 27:10Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.
- 27:11Speaker 4: I've been to Central Park once with a friend.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's big.
- 27:13Speaker 4: The only thing that I– so when I went to
- 27:16Speaker 4: New York, city the last time, which is my dad's
- 27:18Speaker 4: from New York. He's from upstate New York, but like,
- 27:21Speaker 4: he never took us to New York city. He's like,
- 27:22Speaker 4: I hate New York city. So I'm like, thanks dad. Um,
- 27:25Speaker 4: that's the tangent.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Anyways.
- 27:27Speaker 4: Um, the only thing that I wanted to do when
- 27:28Speaker 4: I was there last time was see the Balto statue.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Do you know who Balto is?
- 27:31Speaker 4: Balto is the dog that, um, back when, what, what, uh,
- 27:38Speaker 4: it was like, he had to go run a vaccine. Um,
- 27:42Speaker 4: like I was like a sled dog in.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Alaska and, So it was a real dog.
- 27:46Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. It's a real dog. And it's for– it
- 27:48Speaker 4: was like– this is like forever ago. It was in
- 27:50Speaker 4: like the 50s.
- 27:51Speaker 3: Okay.
- 27:51Speaker 1: When– So he transported vaccines. Whatever– So he was a
- 27:55Speaker 1: hero dog.
- 27:55Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to think of what illness it was.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I see it. Ball told it. Oh, yeah.
- 28:02Speaker 4: Okay.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Yeah. There it is. And I– Yeah, he was a
- 28:05Speaker 1: sled dog.
- 28:06Speaker 4: But what was the vaccine for?
- 28:09Speaker 1: Oh, okay. It was a serum.
- 28:10Speaker 4: Serum.
- 28:11Speaker 1: There was a potential– there was a deadly epidemic that
- 28:14Speaker 1: was sweeping through North Alaska.
- 28:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:17Speaker 1: And they were under quarantine and a doctor transmitted via
- 28:21Speaker 1: Morse code that the town's existing serum was being depleted.
- 28:25Speaker 4: Yes.
- 28:25Speaker 1: And they needed more. Yeah. So they– I'm sorry. I'm
- 28:29Speaker 1: reading ahead here. They assigned the governor– what's his name?
- 28:35Speaker 1: Where is he? What's his name?
- 28:36Speaker 5: Balto.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Balto. Okay. Oh, here we go. They appointed a team
- 28:40Speaker 1: of dogs to do the run. Yeah, sled dogs. Yeah,
- 28:43Speaker 1: sled dogs. And they chose Balto to lead alongside Fox,
- 28:47Speaker 1: another dog.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 28:50Speaker 1: And yeah, it keeps going on and on. I guess
- 28:53Speaker 1: he delivered it. So that's good. Okay.
- 28:55Speaker 4: That didn't answer my question.
- 28:56Speaker 1: What was your question?
- 28:56Speaker 4: I wanted to know what the vaccine was for, what
- 28:59Speaker 4: illness it was.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Oh, didn't I say it?
- 29:01Speaker 4: No.
- 29:01Speaker 1: It says there was a– oh.
- 29:05Speaker 4: Oh, diphtheria.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Diphtheria. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 29:07Speaker 4: Yes. Okay. I was never going to get that on me.
- 29:10Speaker 1: What is this?
- 29:11Speaker 4: He's looking at a picture.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Oh, my God. What is that?
- 29:13Speaker 4: A Wikipedia of diphtheria.
- 29:15Speaker 1: It's an infection. That picture's weird.
- 29:18Speaker 4: I don't know what that is.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Okay. It looks like it covers the tonsils. Okay. So
- 29:23Speaker 1: the symptoms are sore throat, fever, and barking cough.
- 29:26Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 29:27Speaker 4: Interesting. But it's like you can die from it.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Okay.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:30Speaker 1: Is it just coincidence that it causes barking cough and
- 29:33Speaker 1: they got a dog to deliver the serum?
- 29:35Speaker 4: I don't know if somebody in Wikipedia was writing that
- 29:37Speaker 4: like this he, he, he, he, he, he, he or not.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Wow. That's interesting.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Yeah. So anyways, he's a hero and I wanted to
- 29:44Speaker 4: see the statue and the two girls that I were
- 29:46Speaker 4: with were like, we're not going to fucking see the
- 29:48Speaker 4: Balto statue.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Oh, I'm looking at it right now.
- 29:50Speaker 4: So I never got to see it.
- 29:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 29:51Speaker 1: He's a Siberian. He was a Siberian Husky.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:55Speaker 1: National hero in the 1925 serum run in Alaska.
- 29:59Speaker 4: Yeah, there's like a kid's movie cartoon made about Balto.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 30:04Speaker 4: And I watched that a lot as a kid. Oh.
- 30:07Speaker 4: I was a dog kid. I loved dogs.
- 30:09Speaker 1: I loved dogs.
- 30:10Speaker 4: And whales.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Never had one, though. I've never had a dog.
- 30:12Speaker 4: Huh.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Yeah. My parents, my mom. Were they allergic, I think?
- 30:16Speaker 1: My mom. But we never had pets my whole life.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:19Speaker 1: And we were going to get a dog many, many times.
- 30:21Speaker 1: We fostered a dog. But with kids, it was kind
- 30:24Speaker 1: of like, we're going to wait until they get a
- 30:26Speaker 1: little bit older.
- 30:26Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Because it was a lot and really my concern is
- 30:29Speaker 1: like I want to get a dog but then I'm
- 30:31Speaker 1: thinking about– The yard. The yard and who's going to
- 30:33Speaker 1: take care of it, who's going to walk the dog.
- 30:34Speaker 1: That's going to be me.
- 30:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:35Speaker 1: It's just how it is. So I think a dog
- 30:37Speaker 1: is definitely in our future.
- 30:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:39Speaker 1: When they get a little bit earlier.
- 30:40Speaker 4: We– I always wanted a dog. I was like I'm
- 30:42Speaker 4: going to get a– I wanted a dog like my
- 30:44Speaker 4: entire life. Everybody knew that I wanted a dog. I
- 30:46Speaker 4: never got a dog until high school. I think I
- 30:48Speaker 4: was a junior in high school. I actually think that's
- 30:51Speaker 4: waited too long.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Get it before then. Maybe middle school.
- 30:53Speaker 4: Because I think that like having– I love having a
- 30:57Speaker 4: dog and obviously– but like now, like if I move out,
- 31:00Speaker 4: like the dog stays with my parents. Like no, my
- 31:02Speaker 4: mom is like, no, you have to take the dog.
- 31:03Speaker 4: I'm like I can't afford to take your dog.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Whose dog is it?
- 31:05Speaker 4: Well, it's like the family dog.
- 31:07Speaker 1: You're going to take the dog out of the family home?
- 31:09Speaker 4: Yeah. She wants me to take the dog if I
- 31:11Speaker 4: move out.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Do they not love the dog?
- 31:12Speaker 4: No, they do. But I think she just like would
- 31:15Speaker 4: rather do no work. my mom has to like wake
- 31:18Speaker 4: up and walk the dog at like 6am it is
- 31:21Speaker 4: a lot of work and we don't have like a
- 31:22Speaker 4: fenced in yard and we had never had a dog
- 31:25Speaker 4: before either like my mom grew up on like a
- 31:27Speaker 4: farm kind of and had dogs growing up but like
- 31:29Speaker 4: she didn't have to like train the dogs they were
- 31:31Speaker 4: kind of just like farm dogs and so having a
- 31:34Speaker 4: dog that your first dog and you like don't know
- 31:37Speaker 4: how to train them well is like very hard it's
- 31:40Speaker 4: like much harder to train a dog than you would
- 31:42Speaker 4: think um and we didn't like train her very well
- 31:44Speaker 4: on like recall so we don't ever let her off
- 31:46Speaker 4: the leash so like we don't have a fenced in
- 31:48Speaker 4: yard to have her like outside to play so we
- 31:51Speaker 4: have to walk her every single time like we walk
- 31:54Speaker 4: her like five times a day oh.
- 31:55Speaker 1: My god it's horrible who does all the walking do
- 31:58Speaker 1: you split.
- 31:58Speaker 4: It up me my mom and my brother Nobody else.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Are there days where the dog needs
- 32:03Speaker 1: to go out and you're like, I don't want to
- 32:04Speaker 1: do it. You do it. No, you do it.
- 32:06Speaker 4: Oh, for sure.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:07Speaker 4: Yeah. Usually my brother doesn't do it. Yeah. He's the
- 32:10Speaker 4: last on the chain.
- 32:11Speaker 1: You don't want a fenced in yard because you don't
- 32:13Speaker 1: want the dog pooping.
- 32:14Speaker 4: In your yard either. So you can train them to
- 32:17Speaker 4: only go in a certain spot.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 32:20Speaker 4: Like a corner or whatever. You just have to take
- 32:22Speaker 4: it out and bring it to that corner every single
- 32:25Speaker 4: time until they know you can only go here.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. So my neighbor- Okay.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Who's not the bad neighbor, the good neighbor.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Okay.
- 32:33Speaker 1: She lives there with her son who's like 18 and
- 32:37Speaker 1: her daughter who's like in her 20s downstairs. Okay. They
- 32:41Speaker 1: have seven dogs. Okay. And a cat. That's beside the point.
- 32:47Speaker 4: That's too many.
- 32:49Speaker 1: But seven dogs. You have four Dalmatians, a Rottweiler and
- 32:56Speaker 1: two pugs.
- 32:57Speaker 4: Okay. Big dogs.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Yeah. So they have a fenced-in yard in the back.
- 33:02Speaker 1: But what they do is she goes out like multiple
- 33:06Speaker 1: times a day with a little pooper scooper and they
- 33:08Speaker 1: put the poop in market basket bags and then they
- 33:10Speaker 1: just hang it on the fence. And they let it
- 33:13Speaker 1: pile up bag after bag throughout the week and then
- 33:15Speaker 1: they put the bags in the trash out front. So
- 33:19Speaker 1: in my backyard, there's just constantly, if I look over
- 33:22Speaker 1: to her house, bags of shit.
- 33:24Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, that's weird.
- 33:25Speaker 1: And the smell doesn't come over to us luckily. But
- 33:28Speaker 1: when I'm over there because I cut her grass, all
- 33:31Speaker 1: I smell is dog poop. And then she has a
- 33:34Speaker 1: porch that's right above it. So in the summer, the
- 33:38Speaker 1: poop is just there in the heat.
- 33:39Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gross.
- 33:40Speaker 1: But I guess my wife was telling me that they're
- 33:42Speaker 1: probably just so used to the smell. It doesn't even–
- 33:44Speaker 1: they don't even smell it anymore.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Probably.
- 33:47Speaker 4: I don't– dog poop like doesn't like– it does smell
- 33:50Speaker 4: but it's not like, whoa, gross. it smells like.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Shit. Right.
- 33:57Speaker 4: Like when you're picking it up, you're like, obviously it's poop,
- 34:02Speaker 4: but like, I don't know. It's like not like the
- 34:05Speaker 4: most pungent of smells, but they probably are used to
- 34:08Speaker 4: it a lot in the summer heat.
- 34:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:10Speaker 4: That smells.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Yeah. That's what I was going to say.
- 34:12Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 34:12Speaker 4: That's crazy.
- 34:13Speaker 1: I'm sure you're used to it. You pick it up
- 34:14Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:15Speaker 4: But the reason why I was saying that is I
- 34:17Speaker 4: just think that I think that to have a dog
- 34:19Speaker 4: in like middle school does teach kids like responsibility and stuff.
- 34:23Speaker 1: I can see that happening.
- 34:24Speaker 4: And then also I feel like a little bit like
- 34:27Speaker 4: you're almost more bonded to the dog.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:29Speaker 4: Because you're still young.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Well, that's what happened with Matty. You know, he never
- 34:34Speaker 1: had a dog his whole life. And then when the
- 34:36Speaker 1: kids moved out and it was just him and his wife,
- 34:38Speaker 1: he got Roma, which is his first dog, and fell
- 34:40Speaker 1: in love.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:41Speaker 1: And now he's a big dog person. But he never was.
- 34:43Speaker 1: And I always thought about that. obviously I want to
- 34:45Speaker 1: get a job before the kids move out when they're
- 34:47Speaker 1: just a little bit older. I think it would be best. So,
- 34:49Speaker 1: so Balto, you're not going to see Balto.
- 34:52Speaker 4: I probably won't be on the list, but if I
- 34:55Speaker 4: ever go back to New York city and I can
- 34:56Speaker 4: just like have a day to myself, I will see Balto. Okay.
- 35:00Speaker 1: All right. Well, you're going to report back to us
- 35:01Speaker 1: on the Harry Styles show.
- 35:02Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm really excited. I think that I kind of
- 35:05Speaker 4: have an outfit planned. I don't know. I need Bill
- 35:07Speaker 4: to bring me a tie. I'm, like, so serious about that.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 35:09Speaker 4: I need him to send me a picture of all
- 35:11Speaker 4: his colored ties.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Oh, Billy?
- 35:12Speaker 1: So I can pick one.
- 35:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Dude, go shopping in his house.
- 35:14Speaker 4: I tried to invite myself over. He wasn't really having it.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Very weird about the house.
- 35:18Speaker 4: I know. I literally was like, hey, there's this tie
- 35:21Speaker 4: place in Malden, like, for food that looks really good,
- 35:24Speaker 4: and I want to have it. And I was like, hey, Billy,
- 35:26Speaker 4: should we get takeout one day, and then we eat
- 35:27Speaker 4: it at your house? He was like, okay.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Oh, there you go.
- 35:30Speaker 4: I'm going to invite myself over if it's the last
- 35:32Speaker 4: thing I do.
- 35:33Speaker 1: The house thing is weird. I've been there.
- 35:35Speaker 4: But he likes hanging out is the thing.
- 35:37Speaker 1: I know. I know.
- 35:38Speaker 4: You just got to get him in the right way.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Listen, if he tries to be too weird about it
- 35:44Speaker 1: and won't let you, just let me know. I'll text Michelle.
- 35:45Speaker 4: Well, I said, I can come over after work. And
- 35:48Speaker 4: he was like, I'll just send you a picture of
- 35:49Speaker 4: all the ties.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what he does. It's weird.
- 35:52Speaker 4: It's actually fine. But I'm like, but I will. I
- 35:54Speaker 4: will be at his house. You're invited to the tie thing,
- 35:57Speaker 4: by the way.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Oh, thank you.
- 35:58Speaker 4: So we can do it on a weekend.
- 35:59Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Like I know you weren't here for like the Maddie days,
- 36:02Speaker 1: but there were so many mornings when it would get
- 36:06Speaker 1: brought up that he never invited Matt to his house
- 36:09Speaker 1: and Matt had never been to his house. It would
- 36:12Speaker 1: ruin the whole show.
- 36:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:13Speaker 1: He couldn't let it go. And I'm always like, why
- 36:16Speaker 1: doesn't he? And it wasn't just him either, Matt. It
- 36:17Speaker 1: was like everyone else too. He doesn't want to bring
- 36:19Speaker 1: people to his house. By the way, his house.
- 36:22Speaker 4: So nice.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Beautiful. Yeah, I bet. Like he puts so much work
- 36:25Speaker 1: into it. Why does he want to show it off?
- 36:27Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 36:27Speaker 1: It's weird.
- 36:28Speaker 4: And he'll have people over the boat.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Oh, the boat's no problem.
- 36:30Speaker 4: I don't understand the difference.
- 36:31Speaker 1: I don't get the house thing. I don't know. But
- 36:33Speaker 1: let me know if it gives you a hassle. I'll
- 36:34Speaker 1: text Michelle.
- 36:35Speaker 4: I don't think you will.
- 36:36Speaker 1: All right. Sounds good. All right. Thank you, Riley, very much.
- 36:38Speaker 1: I appreciate it. No problem. I did 37 minutes of
- 36:41Speaker 1: a podcast.
- 36:42Speaker 4: Well, half of it is just you yapping.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Oh, well, I like to answer the talkbacks.
- 36:46Speaker 4: It's your podcast.
- 36:48Speaker 1: I feel bad because what will happen is I'll do
- 36:49Speaker 1: a podcast like this one right here. Tomorrow when I
- 36:51Speaker 1: come in, there'll be talkbacks about you responding to things,
- 36:56Speaker 1: and I never want to let those go.

- 37:06Speaker 4: we'll just talk about it next time.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Yes. No problem.
- 37:09Speaker 4: It doesn't have to be unless it's like really.
- 37:10Speaker 1: No, no, it's fine. And I can just always pull
- 37:13Speaker 1: you into.
